Retention

Retention Task Force

Recruit + Award + Educate + Support = Graduate

The Retention Task Force (RTF) was formed by President Gresham in the Fall of 2008 to assure that a cross-campus group is examining the issue of retention on a regular basis. The mission of the RTF is to provide campus leadership in the study and promotion of student learning, success, and degree completion at SNU. The RTF will analyze data (retention, withdrawal, housing, campus climate, student satisfaction, and so forth) and recommend to the President and his cabinet strategies to enhance SNU’s retention and graduation rates. Recognizing that retention improves as the quality of student learning and student life is enhanced, the RTF will also recommend long-range strategies to address the ongoing needs of all students. The RTF will partner with the cabinet and other campus constituencies in addressing the action items listed in its charge.
